The aim of this paper is to study a boundary time-optimal control problem for the heat equation in a two-dimensional ball. The main ingredient is the extension of a result concerning Müntz polynomials due to Borwein and Erdélyi that allows us to prove an observability inequality for the dynamical system's truncation to a finite number of modes. This result, combined with a well-known Lebeau–Robbiano argument used to show the null-controllability of parabolic type equations, enables us to deduce the existence, uniqueness and bang-bang properties for the boundary time-optimal control.

The task of organization a closed time-optimal control system of linear object with distributed parameters of parabolic type is considered. The object has two lumped internal controls for the power of heat sources excited in the electromagnetic field of an inductor. The proposed method for the synthesis of optimal controllers uses an alternance method for calculating the optimal program controls for each of the control actions. An example of the construction of a quasi-optimal time control system for the process of periodic induction heating of a metal workpiece with constant values of the feedback coefficients calculated for the most characteristic initial spatial distribution is given.
